May I start by wishing the original judge, Ms Muriel Grantmyre, a speedy recovery. I would also like to thank my two Stewards who kept things flowing. It certainly was an odd start to my day, as we had been on the road to the show for approx. 30 minutes, with my two bitches, when I received a call asking if I could step in as a replacement judge. In all my 60 years this has never happened to me before. I would like to thank the Committee for the invite and must admit my main concern was that I was in exhibitor attire and not my usual judges suit. I would also like to thank those of you who accepted my placing with grace, and to those who chose to ‘withdraw’, you must realise you cut your nose off to spite your face, your loss not mine. For those exhibitors whose dogs I had handled during the last 12 months, I apologise, as obviously you were unable to exhibit under me, due to KC rules.

Since my last judging appointment I found some improvements in rear movement, but sadly a definite deterioration in front assembly/movement. I also sadly saw a couple of bostons showing signs of divergent strabismus, which obviously spoils the true boston expression.

On a positive note there are some beautiful young bitches at present.

1ST 58 - Demorace Atmospheric (Mrs D Rodaway) – This is one very smart clean cut youngster, who shows so much promise. He is just out of puppy and is finding his way through life with a shy attitude, which I hope improves over time as he has much to offer. My initial thoughts were one of nice size, good bone, clean and elegant outlines, and whilst still having a lot of maturing to do, the basics are in place, so square in all aspects, lovely square clean head, nice ears, lovely eye, enough padding, nice length of neck and tidy front. Tight feet, bone, just starting to develop in rib, level topline, and good quarters with nice turn of stifle, moved well when he settled to the job. One I shall watch with interest.
